Some people think that the main purpose of school is to turn children into good citizens and workers, rather than to benefit them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Education plays a vital role in improving human well-being. There has been an inconclusive debate about whether the main objective of going to school is to transform students into workers,

instead

of offering advantages to them individually, which I agree with

this

viewpoint. In

this

Linking Words

essay, the reasons supporting my idea will be presented in detail.

First

Linking Words

of all, most ordinary schools do not teach children about the necessary skill for living

such

as cooking, growing vegetables, raising animals, and constructing a house. They teach only the subjects that are important for studying in higher education and working in the companies, including Math, Science, and languages.

Therefore

Linking Words

, children cannot rely on themselves in order to produce their own food and build their own house,

Consequently

Linking Words

, they need to work in the companies to put food on the table and need to collect money to buy a house. To illustrate the good education, Jone Jundai, a founder of homeschooling in Chiangmai, teaches his sons to cultivate various plants to consume, to raise chickens to collect eggs, as well as build earth houses, which pupils can have their own residence since young ages.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, the recent educational system solely focuses on the score and GPA.

As a result

Linking Words

, the students who are not fit with

this

particular system, and may have the talents for other issues

such

Linking Words

as dancing, singing, and drawing, are identified as stupid persons and find it difficult to get jobs.

For example

Linking Words

, Jack Ma, a founder of Alibaba companies, the

second

Linking Words

richest person in China, was rejected from many prestigious universities as he could not pass the exams and the interviews.

However

Linking Words

, nowadays he is one of the most successful persons in the world by establishing the pioneering online shopping website in China.

Thus

Linking Words

, universities are not beneficial for some people. In conclusion, according to the information mentioned above, I strongly agree with the statement due to lack of basic skills for survival, and the curriculums focusing on scores are not suitable for all students who are different and unique.
